We hear/read it all the time, even our own fans and I included myself, write it often, but why? The ‘it’ being, Arsenal might…. (bear with me) Our victory over West Ham came thanks to a Alexandre Lacazette goal late in the game but, and not for the fist time by any means, instead of […]
I’m happy because big teams find a way when they aren’t playing well. We are turning the corner in terms of results, but our ship still has to turn a few times more to see what we want to see. It doesn’t happen overnight. – Mikel Arteta. If the search for another pass by Mesut Ozil […]
Today’s fixture is a bit of a rarity with us playing on a Saturday at 3pm. Must mean that Sky Sports and BT Sports believe this match isn’t going to be entertaining or they think it’s a home banker for Arsenal. After all, if West Ham were favourites to win, either one of them would […]
Arsenal seldom do things by halves when it comes to injuries. When our players suffer injury, it’s usually serious, season ending regardless of when it occurs. Bellerin, Holding, Ramsey, Eduardo, Diaby, Chambers, Walcott, Koscielny, Vermaelan, RvP, Mertesacker, Rosicky, Cazorla, Pires and now, Torreira who’ll miss the rest of this season and probably the first few […]
The draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals took place last night and we came out with a trip to Bramall Lane to take on fellow Premier League side Sheffield Utd on the weekend of Saturday, March 21. Not an easy fixture by any means and I’d much rather our number had come out of the pot […]
I found it interesting listening to Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, Glen Johnson and Gary Linekar last night whilst they were covering the Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup fixture. A fixture Chelsea won by the way. The question posed by Linekar related to Chelsea’s inconsistency this season. Brilliant one minute, or at least good one minute, […]
Playing against a lower league side is tricky for Arsenal. Nelson can go 0-60 quicker than my old Puch Maxi. Mike Dean really is a twerp. The first half was scrappy. Yes Portsmouth were creating the better openings but if anyone thought they looked like scoring they were kidding themselves. In my opinion of […]
What a weekend of football just gone. The results have really done Arsenal a huge favour by opening the door to European football. Bournemouth drew with Chelsea, Everton drew with Man Utd, Toots were beaten at home by Wolves and the finally, the big one. Watford spanked Liverpool 3-0 and with it, made sure our […]
Well that didn’t end well. In fact very little went well for the entire 120 minutes really, other than a thing of beauty off Auba’s boot. I’m not cross, just really disappointed because we had so many opportunities to put the game to bed but our front men failed to pull the trigger, Pepe in particular. […]
Tonight is simple, keep a clean sheet and we’re through. If the Greek side happen to score two, then we simply have to win. Our away goal means the pressure is on Olympiacos to score, to bring the tie level before hoping they can dish out a sucker punch late in the game. A […]
beIN Sports have a few quotes from Arsene Wenger which came after the final whistle blew at Stamford Bridge. Not a good night at all for Frank Lampard and his team. What has he [Lampard] learned… but he knew already, because you don’t lose five home games if your team is superior to every […]
The celebration from Eddie after his goal at the weekend caused a few raised eyebrows but as expected, it was just a bit of in house fun rather than him getting ahead of himself. “It’s just a little phone call! In pre-season Arsenal Media came up with a little thing ‘call me if you need a […]
